A rich history in an unspoiled natural setting.
The Vision A Rare Setting. A Unique Opportunity.
In the heart of one of Winston-Salem’s oldest neighborhoods lies Chatham, an unspoiled and naturally beautiful piece of land. Upon arriving at Chatham, one notices the many species of mature trees and flowers, the intimate cobblestone lined streets, the aged split rail fences, and the ever-present sense of privacy and tranquility. There are outbuildings that provide a glimpse into the past and the farm life that once occupied the land. These are the elements that are the inspiration for the vision of Chatham.

The vision emphasizes responsible and stylistic architecture combined with a deep appreciation for the natural environment. A rich history in an unspoiled natural setting is what gives Chatham its sense of place and character. The vision is to maintain these characteristics by creating a place that is both private and public, exceptional, and understated.
A unique open space designed with tree preservation in mind, the centrally located Chatham Park draws inspiration from the naturally occurring features of the site. The park is designed around the existing canopy of trees allowing for open glades of sweeping lawns with grassy pathways and drifts of ferns that characterize the idyllic natural landscape.

Chatham residents will have a variety of recreation opportunities that range from daily walks, informal gatherings and picnics, to larger social events. The park will be a central point for individual and neighborhood activities.

The Land A Place from a Distant Time.
Once a working farm, Chatham has been carefully cultivated and preserved for generations. A property with a rich history that has been called home by some of the oldest families in Winston-Salem. This land has been carefully worked over a long period time, all the while stressing an emphasis on doing things the right way.

Elements of fine craftsmanship are found throughout the property. The existing homes, both old and new, the artistically designed cobblestone accents, the charming outbuildings, the detailed barn doors, are all part of what makes this property special. Hardwoods, magnolias, dogwoods, redbuds, azaleas, and native ferns are sprinkled throughout the property. A gentle roll in topography provides many picturesque settings for well-thought-out home sites. It’s a setting that must be preserved and worked in the same careful manner that it has been from the beginning.

The Site Folding Architectural Highlights into the Natural Fabric of the Land.
Twenty three pristine acres in one of the oldest and most prestigious neighborhoods in Winston-Salem, Chatham is a setting that feels like a throwback in time. Through careful planning and a great deal of thought, twenty new home sites will complement the existing estate on the property. A central park has been designed to shelter some of the most magnificent trees on the property and give the residents of Chatham a special place in nature to enjoy for years to come. The existing road will remain and the new roads will continue in the same intimate manner and delicate character of old southern roads. Single driveway cuts will be carefully positioned within the natural banks of vegetation along the way. Special attention will be given to preserving the remarkable trees in the common areas as well as on the individual building sites. The existing homes on the property exhibit a variety of styles that set a wonderful precedent for the architecture of the future.

The Architecture Careful Planning and Remarkable Execution.
The architecture of Chatham will not be bound by stylistic restrictions, but rather by an ethos of understated authenticity. The appropriate Chatham home, whether modern, romantic, or eclectic in character, will pursue beauty by emphasizing attention to detail with an understanding of the traditions behind any proposed design.
18
Architectural guidelines will be provided to help homeowners, builders, and architects create a living solution that is timeless and cohesive with its Chatham neighbors. These guidelines and standards encourage quality over quantity, defining suitable building materials and laying out building ‘zones’ specific to each site.

The Principles Preserving character and privacy.
In order to preserve the existing character of the neighborhood, a great deal of thought and planning resulted in the creation of the ‘zones’ that make up each homesite. While allowing stylistic diversity, these zones will mitigate the scale of homes from oversized single masses into thoughtful assemblages of linked structures and wings. The zones have also been planned to preserve Chatham’s most significant mature trees. Another key characteristic of Chatham is a generous, continuous green ‘buffer’ along the roads and Robinhood Road, preserving the remarkable woodland character and privacy that makes Chatham homesites so unique.
22
The gracious lot sizes allow for a myriad of planning possibilities, presenting opportunities for courtyard arrangements, fluid indoor-outdoor connections, and detached follies or outbuildings. When the encouraged design diversity comes together with Chatham’s special natural setting, the result will be properties as discrete and distinctive as the residents who choose to call it home.
An emphasis on quality over quantity. Thoughtful assemblages of linked structures.
